DOES "CENTRAL" OBESITY PREDICT CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE?

Coronary artery calcification: does it predict obstructive coronary artery disease?

Calcification of the coronary arteries plays a key role in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis. Coronary calcification is an active process culminating in extracellular matrix deposition of calcium by osteoblast-like cells that has some resemblance to bone formation [1]. Subintimal coronary calcification is almost exclusively associated with the presence of coronary atherosclerosis and is co...
